See what travelers are saying about their North America eSIM experience. Real feedback from real users to help you pick the best plan for your trip.
“ESIM.DOG's North America eSIM (AT&T USA/Freedom Mobile Canada) automatically connects to other networks as well (Verizon, T-Mobile, Bell, Rogers, and TELUS) while not transmitting data. Manual network selection is necessary. Support leads you in circles. Freedom Mobile has very limited coverage outside major cities.”
“I cannot recommend this provider.
My purchase confirmation email contained the complete eSIM activation QR code and activation details, but it was also CC'd to a personal Gmail address (praveenasaravanan95 -at- gmail dot com). As far as I can tell, anyone receiving that email also receives everything needed to install the eSIM. I reported this as a potential security issue and repeatedly asked to speak with a human, but only received AI-generated replies. My request for a human representative was ignored.
In addition, there is no purchase history or data usage information available in my account, so I have no way of verifying how much data remains on the eSIM.
Although the eSIM does connect and appears to work, the lack of transparency and the apparent disregard for a legitimate security concern mean I cannot recommend GigaTel.”
“Did not work first time, had to contact support to get a new esim. Routes through London, hence high latency/slow”
“Absolutely terrible. Unusably slow speeds and the random country VPN exit point means many sites won't load.”
“Worst customer service I've experienced in a long time. I've been using Airalo for a couple of years without any major issues, but recently I've been dealing with repeated connection problems.
When I tried to get help, I spent over 30 minutes chatting with an AI bot that never resolved the issue or connected me to a human representative. The end result was simple: no data, no solution, and no refund. Very disappointing experience.”
“Generally very good coverage across Michigan with 5G in detroit. Didn't work in more rural areas where AT&T signal was available whereas my partners cheaper sim from esim dog worked okay. Overall good experience ”
“Generally very good coverage with 4G in smaller towns and 5G in Toronto. Simple setup process and no problems.”
“I bought 2 1 day esims from them, and set them up like any other esim I've used before, and it just didn't work. I tried every settings, and on two different phones with no luck. Do not risk it and stick to a better provider. They did in the end provide a 70% refund though.”
“The esim caused 2 APNs to be set up. The default APN Orange did not work with Rogers in Canada. Selecting the second APN nju got the mobile data going.
Internet breakout was in Poland. There was a noticeable but acceptable delay.”
“I’ve used multiple eSIM providers from here and this eSIM.dog is the worst one I’ve encountered. Connectivity issues extremely slow and unstable/disconnecting every 5 min for 5-10 minutes on repeat. Waste of money. Do not purchase from this provider”
“I bought the eSIM for Canada through esim.dog (9GB, 10 days, Rogers). I like how transparent they are about where the SIM card termination and network is located with multiple options. Setup was smooth, and I just had to remember to turn on Roaming after activating it. Speeds are decent with latency of about 257 ms (thanks to termination in UK/Poland), but it seems like all”
“I bought 10Gb for 7 days but was given unlimited for 3 days. For some reason I was switched.
This is bad. This is incorrect marketing and a switch during the checkout process. I will never purchase from your company again.
Data speed was not good either.”
“I noticed that the pay-as-you-go option does not appear in the plan listings on esimdb, which caught my attention a little. After actually using it, I personally feel this is the most convenient option.
Because it is fully usage based, you can keep using it seamlessly even when moving between countries, which is incredibly convenient. With cheaper flight tickets, long layovers at airports in China are common, and sometimes you may want to head into the city for a short while. In those situations, it feels a bit wasteful to purchase a one day plan or a large data package, so this option fits perfectly.
Airport WiFi is available, of course, but connections can be unstable, and SMS verification is sometimes required, which often makes it more troublesome than expected. That is why having the reassurance of being able to connect immediately on your own mobile line, even during immigration, feels very valuable.
Overseas roaming is also available with ahamo and Rakuten Mobile, but there are still countries that are not covered. Having this set up as a dual SIM feels like something that could really help in an emergency. I also appreciate that LINE and WhatsApp continue to work even after the main data allowance has been used up. It is a small detail, but genuinely useful.”
“poor speed. not connection inn some cases. breakout to HK makes the service unusable.”
“Trusted provider and amazing customer support!
I bought a voice+data esim for my travel to the States, but after activation I had issues with the data, despite voice calls and SMS working well.
I contacted the customer support team via Whatsapp who were very responsive and issued me an additional data-only esim (1GB) until they could resolve the issue with the original one.
The team was very supposed and solved all my issues and did not leave me hanging while I am traveling and need the data connection at all times.
Highly trusted and reliable, based on my experience.”
“I have used Airalo in about 20 countries and I was quite satisfied mostly. In Mexico though, they are useless unless you stay in the biggest cities. They connect to Movistar network in there and if you plan to travel around, it is absolutely useless with no coverage in most places where other providers have a good signal. ”
“Doesn't work in Canada, tried Rogers Wireless (Blue) and Freedom Mobile Canada (Black) routes.
Fortunately, support is good and will give you a refund.”
“They offer a wide range of options in terms of pricing and duration, and they also provide eSIM card for the USA. Now that I’ve used it a few times, I’m extremely happy with the service. Their customer support is slow but they resolved the Issues as soon as possible but good Gob.”
“Great service and inexpensive; you can switch providers by selecting the network option on your phone if one network has poor reception.”
“Throttling, low speed after two GB instead of unlimited data as was promised. Bought another USA esim, speed became 40 times higher. Used both to download steam games.”
“Great experience, connected in New York, Chicago and LA. 5G most of the time. Easy and perfect !”
“Fast & cheap esim
Watch out for restricted apps.
Provider app is a bit clunky”
“Great prices, but incredibly slow. At most I can get 0.2mb/s, about 2000x slower than my normal Sim Card.”
“Update on previous review: They now route the data through a London VPN so that .gov sites and everything else works. Some very picky sites like homedepot still don't work, but I don't think it's possible to avoid with an international sim. Their site updated to Verizon/T-Mobile which is accurate, but they haven't updated this info across all plans. Expect high latency, as data is routed first through Hong Kong then London and data is QCI 9 but other than that I found it to be very reliable over a few months.”
“Turns off and doesn’t work every so often. They’re very difficult to contact. Don’t recommend use a different one.”
“Worked great in USA but data goes through Hong Kong so no ChatGPT or TikTok. I would get 300 mbs when doing Speedtest”
“I purchased this eSIM for my trip to the US and was satisfied with the ease of installation and the very affordable price. However, I encountered some issues with data traffic being routed through Hong Kong, causing latency and blocking some services like TikTok and ChatGPT. When I reached out to support, they seemed surprised and went on the defensive, rather than offering a helpful solution. It would have been helpful if this was clearly stated on the website and if support was more knowledgeable and proactive in addressing the issue. Overall, the service was easy to use, but these issues impacted my overall experience.”
“Uses Hong Kong IPs, some .gov sites and Amazon cloudfront sites don't work, but TOR works to bypass without a bridge. Only complaint is that it was initially advertised as all three carriers, but they seemed to switch their roaming policies so I only get T-Mobile/Verizon and sometimes Verizon doesn't work. Maybe some carriers are LAC locked, but I would have another eSIM with permanent data to use other carriers in a pinch if you need. They are also a new provider so their rates/policies change quick.”
“No issues in the US. I bought 7 eSIMs and we activated them without any problems upon arrival. In fact, one person ended up not traveling, so I contacted their customer service, and within 24 hours they replied and refunded me for the unused eSIM. A perfect 10/10.”
“Worked well through 4 Canadian provinces. Tethering worked perfectly too.
SIM seemed to be provided via a Polish network as I often got search results that assumed I was in Poland.”
“Like Ben who gave a review. I tried everything to get this to work. It would show I had signal but would not pass data. I looked it did not auto getting APN settings. I tried many settings and could never get it to allow any data in. So it was a waste of money my wife also lost money on breeze. I did go to a different esim company (Globalesim) that allowed bell and was able to setup an apn that worked fine for that company.”
